Reading an ACPI table through the /sys/firmware/acpi/tables interface
more than 65,536 times leads to the following log message:
ACPI Error: Table ffff88033595eaa8, Validation count is zero after increment
(20170119/tbutils-423)
...and the table being unavailable until the next reboot. Add the
missing acpi_put_table() so the table ->validation_count is decremented
after each read.
